How You Can Fit a Bike Bottle Holder

When cycling, particularly on longer outings, you should stay correctly hydrated. A bike water bottle placed on your bicycle might help. Most bicycle frames have threaded holes, known as bosses, with bottles within either the chair tube or even the lower tube, made to mount a bike bottle holder. For bikes without these mounting holes, a set of zip ties works to mount the holder. Other kinds of bike bottle holders come outfitted with clamps to secure the holder towards the bike. Setting up a bike bottle holder takes only a couple of minutes.

BRAZE-ON INSTALLATION

Step One

Locate the threaded holes and bolts from the braze-ons within either the chair tube or even the lower tube in your bicycle frame. Take away the bolts in the frame using the Allen wrench.

Backed Links

Step Two

Take away the water bottle in the holder, if required. Align the mounting holes within the bike bottle holder using the holes around the frame from the bike.

Step Three

Place the bolts with the holes within the bike bottle holder. Thread the bolts in to the drawn on holes within the braze-ons within the bicycle frame.

Step Four

Tighten the bolts using the Allen wrench. Put the water bottle within the bottle holder.

ZIP TIE INSTALLATION

Step One

Choose an area around the lower tube or chair tube for that bike bottle holder. Squeeze bottle holder around the frame.

Step Two

Place among the zip ties with the frame from the bike bottle holder, then round the frame from the bike. Fasten the zip tie so it's slightly loose around the frame. Continue doing this step with another zip tie.

Step Three

Align bike bottle holder towards the frame at its final position. Tighten the zip ties. Cut the surplus finishes from the zip ties served by the scissors.

CLAMP INSTALLATION

Step One

Release the bolt, nut, Velcro or any other binder device store the clamp closed around the bike bottle holder. Take away the device, if required.

Step Two

Open the clamp and put it around the preferred location in your bike. This could range from the lower tube, chair tube, chair stem, handle bars or any other location that doesn't hinder riding securely.

Step Three

Fit the clamp safely towards the location and shut the clamp. Switch the binder device, if required. Tighten the nut, bolt or any other binder device to secure bike bottle holder towards the bike.
